Previously on The Logician's Adventures...
You defamed Hell...somehow.
Old Man (unnamed)
Why?
They seemed unhappy.
The Logician (Loggy)
No one said they had to be miserable.
You realize this is a journey into dangerous territory.
Seriously. He summons Chuck Norris. I blast planets with Death Star rays.
Benny (disembodied voice)
I think we can handle ourselves.
All actions have reprocussions, Keeper.

And now the continuation
The following takes place between 1:00 PM and 1:10pm
So what was the deal with the old man?

"Kinda the point."
OK, whatever. Let's go and find some sort of quest to take everyone on. That's the plan, isn't it?
"See, that's what we've got to do. Stick to the plan."
Cool. So the plan is to form a plan?
"A-yup. That's the plan. Think of a plan. Think of a plan...
